Biographical note
Franco Ferrari, Clarence D. Ashley Professor of Law and Director, Intesa Sanpaolo Center for Transnational Litigation, Arbitration, and Commercial Law, New York University School of Law, New York, US, Friedrich Rosenfeld, Partner, Hanefeld, Germany, Global Adjunct Professor, NYU Paris, France, and Honorary Professor, International Hellenic University, Thessaloniki, Greece and Charles T. Kotuby, Jr., Professor of Practice and Executive Director of the Center for International Legal Education, University of Pittsburgh, School of Law, US<i>‘The book contains 10 chapters across 170 pages, wherein Ferrari et al. do an excellent job of introducing the uninitiated to “internationalist” perspectives of the recognition and enforcement of foreign arbitral awards, greatly simplifying the topic to ensure the reader’s comprehension. However, experts in this area of law will equally enjoy the extensive comparative jurisprudence that is drawn upon in the book. Besides, it makes for a very interesting read: I finished it in just two days!’</i>

<i>‘Quintessence is the queen of a land of speculative science in Rabelais' Gargantua. The New York Convention is our quintessence in the art that we call international arbitration. We can be grateful that we are able to practice our trade with the benefit of the insights of those who scrutinize our field around the world. Guidance on the New York Convention should be as practical and intellectually stimulating as this book.’</i>

Combining insight from arbitration practice with perspectives from private international law, the book underlines the importance of the Convention’s foundation in a treaty of international law, arguing that this entails a requirement to interpret the key concepts it sets forth based on international law rules of interpretation. However, it also demonstrates where municipal laws are relevant and discusses the private international law principles through which these instances can be identified.
Addressing one of the core treaties of international arbitration, this will be crucial reading for legal practitioners and judges working in the field. It will also prove valuable to scholars and students of commercial and private international law, particularly those focused on cross-border disputes and arbitration.
